Brigie was one of my dearest friends. I moved into the house across the street from the O´Briens, when I was 3 yrs old. We were close friends for our entire lives.
Brigie started a neighborhood theatre group, called The Kids Nextdoor. It was a great way to spend the summers in Los Angeles. Our cast changed every summer, but included other children of movie stars. The children included the offspring of actors, Van Hellen, Barry Sullivan, Judy Garland, Clovis Leachman, as well as many other kids of folks in the Brentwood neighborhood.
Brigie and I grew up together and stayed very close friends until the time of her death. She was a remarkable woman and had so many loving friends. I will never forget "Brige", as we used to call her. Rest in Peace, my loving friend.

It´s 2021 and I just learned Brigie past away in 2016. I have great memories of our shared time in the Theater Arts dept. at Immaculate Heart College. We were in a play together and after our last performance, she hosted a sleep-over for the female cast members at her parents´ home. We had a lovely time. She was a gracious, unique person and I´m sorry that I lost track of her after years of traveling and moving about.

She was a few years ahead of me, but threw a party for our class at her home. No one does that for another class. Always smiling, kind, generous and a good egg if ever there was one. Rest in Peace.
